Calculation Note: As a general rule, if the water temperature is maintained at 80˚F and the pool room air temperature is maintained at 82˚F, use a factor of 1 cfm/sq ft of pool surface or .5 cfm/sq ft of room area (whichever is greater) to determine amount of ventilation required. Example: Pool surface area 16’ x 32’ (512 sq ft) *Indoor design air temperature 83 ˚F Pool water temperature 81 ˚F Relative Humidity 50 % *Outdoor design air temperature 15 ˚F * Always use design temperatures for in
